<div class="entry-summary">[...] no, we are not talking about the 1970s sci-fi cult classic starring Michael York.

Logan's Run ( http://www.logansrunmusic.com ) is made up of Cos Cob residents Ethan Bradley Tollin (vocals/guitar), Alessandro Chille (vocals/bass) and Jason Zivic (drums), along with Riverside resident Itamar Gov-Ari (vocals/guitar) -- and the band can't wait to perform at the GTP.

Greenwich Citizen caught up with the members of the group and asked them about their influences, how they got together and their upcoming performance.

Jason and I were in adjacent kindergarten classes and have been writing songs together since before we could spell.

In high school we had a punk rock band called The Birthday Girls while Sandro and Itamar were in a band called Ghost of Pluto, and we played some local shows together.

While our music is inspired by the greats, we put our own twist on things.

Q. Who are some of your musical influences?

Both of my parents are musicians -- my mom is a hippie and my dad is a blues man, so I grew up with an abundance of rock `n roll music.

It's such a rush! I joined the band after Logan's Run opened for Blue Oyster Cult, so this is one of my first gigs with these guys alongside artists of such a high caliber.

[...] after Dave Matthews' surprise appearance last year, I'm eager to see what treats the GTP might have planned this time around!

Long term, we just want to keep doing this every day; writing, performing, eventually touring the world.</div></div>]]>

<div class="entry-summary">Photos of beautiful brides and handsome grooms from across a century are on display through May at the Byram Shubert Library in a special exhibit,"Wedding Portraits." The brides wear smiles and a variety of gowns -- with some more exotic than others. Miguel Garcia-Colon, branch manager of the Byram Shubert Library, cooked up the "Wedding Portraits" exhibit idea with Maryanne Zalman, chair of the Friends of the Byram Shubert Library.  Most of the brides pictured are either from Byram or have a connection with the Byram Shubert.</div></div>]]>
